Documentary filmmaker Cullen Hoback stands by his allegation Todd is Satoshi Nakamoto despite his denial.

Canadian cryptographer and computer scientist Peter Todd says he’s been forced into hiding for fear of his safety after an HBO documentary supposedly outed him as the inventor of Bitcoin (BTC).

The film, dubbed “Money Electric: The Bitcoin Mystery,” aired on Oct. 9 and was purported to finally reveal the mystery surrounding the true identity of “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonym of a person thought to be the inventor of Bitcoin.

Ultimately, after exploring other potential candidates, the documentary ended on a dubious note with Todd stating “Well yeah, I’m Satoshi Nakamoto.”

Adam Back: Bitcoin’s value lies in its founder’s anonymity

October 16, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Adam Back

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Back explains why Bitcoin’s value relies on its dual identity as hard money and digital gold.

Adam Back, the co-founder and CEO of Blockstream, is convinced that the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the founder of Bitcoin, will always remain a mystery—and that this is a positive thing for Bitcoin.

“Many people have tried to research, look at all the emails, look at all the forum posts, and tried to deduce something from a digital footprint over 15 years, and found nothing,” he said in an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph’s managing editor Gareth Jenkinson.

According to Back, an early Bitcoin developer who exchanged emails with Satoshi, the fact that Bitcoin doesn’t have a central figure, like Vitalik Buterin for Ethereum, strengthens its status as a commodity. This sets it apart from most other cryptocurrencies, which could be more easily compared to securities.
